The latest publication in Strandberg Publishing's series of scaled-down design classics

"Art is art, and a chair is a chair" - for the architect and furniture designer Finn Juhl there were no grey areas. And yet Juhl's designs often strike a delicate balance between the fine and applied arts.

Finn Juhl was one of the leading figures in the so-called 'golden age' of Danish furniture design in the years after the Second World War, and his success in the United States was instrumental in drawing the world's attention to the Danish chair and the branding of Danish Design.

Finn Juhl - Life, Work, World tells Finn Juhl's story (1912-1989) and places his works into the context of their times - from the breakthrough of modernism around 1930, through the heights of cabinet-maker's furniture in the 1940s and 1950s, and up until the re-emergence of near-forgotten masterpieces in the 1990s, their sublime execution admired afresh.
